In Marin County Friday, some of the Transgender Day of Visibility festivities were led by youth in the community wanting to be seen and heard for who they are.
"I think that a lot of times it's hard to be seen when your trans or queer because a lot of time people really don't want to see you," said co-organizer named Hope.
"Trans people are not inherently violent," said Nikki Millett with the Spahr Center."There's nothing inherently bad or scary about trans people. We just want to live like everybody else. Just want to have a space in the world where we are not attacked or hated for who we are." "Even if all the trans people on earth right now died, more will be born tomorrow so it's not something that can be stopped 'cause it's not an illness, it's not a disease. It's simply a variation on the human experience and there's nothing bad about that," Millett said.
